I feel as if the PhD is
very important in my career
00:00:18.410 --> 00:00:23.230 align:middle line:84%

00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.450 align:middle line:84%
During this course,
we will guide you
00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:30.600 align:middle line:84%
through the initial steps
of becoming a researcher.
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.120 align:middle line:84%
You will learn about
the key elements needed
00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:36.000 align:middle line:90%
to describe a research plan.
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.480 align:middle line:84%
Together, we will work
hard to write, plan,
00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:43.140 align:middle line:84%

Join us because we know, from
many years of experience,
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:50.610 align:middle line:84%
what it takes to develop a
successful research plan.
00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:55.170 align:middle line:84%
We know how you can become
a postgraduate student.
00:00:55.170 --> 00:00:58.890 align:middle line:84%
I remember the
first day I started
00:00:58.890 --> 00:01:01.540 align:middle line:90%
to write my PhD proposal.
00:01:01.540 --> 00:01:05.580 align:middle line:84%
And even if I do have an idea,
I didn't know where to start
00:01:05.580 --> 00:01:08.640 align:middle line:84%
and what to write,
and I was lost.
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.230 align:middle line:90%

for your innovative idea,
how to outline your ideas
00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:22.680 align:middle line:90%
as a realistic research plan.
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.230 align:middle line:84%
During the next
four weeks, you will
00:01:25.230 --> 00:01:27.750 align:middle line:84%
learn how to develop
your research statement,
00:01:27.750 --> 00:01:30.270 align:middle line:84%
formulate a clear
research objective,
00:01:30.270 --> 00:01:32.580 align:middle line:90%
